A word on photography

I'm finally home after another exhausting day. My brain is absolute mush so apologies if this post doesn't make sense... Nine plus hours spent detangling, organising, calling in credits and doing returns in the fashion cupboard before missioning over to LCF for my journalism course. I must've looked like some kind of derranged Gandalf as I sprinted past Tower Bridge with my cape flailing behind me. But I made it. Just. The once-a-month circa 2005 Charlie Brooks work-out DVD must be working (!).

I managed to pick up some great S/S '10 look books at work today too. Mui Mui, YSL, Vivienne Westwood, Missoni, Viktor & Rolf... In fashion, there are two types of photography. One is used for documentations sake, such as images used in look books or snaps of models on the catwalk, while the other is for art; to create beautiful, captivating images that transcend our everyday world. And although work by designers like YSL, Viktor & Rolf et al is enough to blow you away with their designs alone, there's no comparison to when a photographer and stylist really come together. Gorge away on Josh Olins and Katie Shillingford's V&R visual feast for Dazed & Confused below...

Sultan

So, my first day of fashion work experience came and went with a blur. An Alice Temperley, Vivienne Westwood, Kaviar Gauche kind of blur to be exact. I've spent the entire day in the fashion cupboard smothered under about a million dresses, accessories and swimwear - as well as talking to the lovely fashion assistant and fashion director - and even though I'm exhausted and still have a MOUNTAIN of returns to do, I couldn't be happier! Lord, I love fashion.

But today (shame on me for my non existant bank balance) I also fell madly in love. Once with a stunning antique rose beaded slip (intricate beading, lace details and plumes of feathers - very roaring 20's), and then again with a mint and sage knitted turban by Missoni. My obsession with headgear is returning again. Ooopsy.

Here are a few more headpieces I love...
